• Gorham's disease is a rare osteolytic bone disease, caused by pathological vascular tissue, which may spread to adjacent organs. It is a disease of unknown etiology, primarily involving the axial skeleton and whose treatment is not codified. Cervical spine involvement is unusual. Stabilization of the cervical spine is a real surgical challenge. We report the case of a young adult treated in our neurosurgery department for a cervical spine localization of Gorham's disease.
